The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI 140 DPF HIGHLINE DSG AUTO is a spacious, four-door family saloon from the mainstream upper-mid-size class. It sits above smaller hatchbacks in comfort and room, offering a sensible alternative to a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra for buyers wanting a refined car. The 2.0-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make it well suited to commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, while the Highline trim brings a welcoming, well-equipped feel. Its roomy cabin and boot, composed ride and strong long-distance economy are attractions; it is less suited to urban errands than a petrol car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,188 look-ups across 488 distinct VINs, a substantial sample. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 134,000 miles, around 10,000 miles annually, and 4.6 previous keepers; average private-sale value is £2,000. These figures offer useful context, but each car’s condition and history matter before arranging an inspection.
